This is just a fun pattern that I came up with because of my love for all things steampunk. Please use Red Heart Super Saver yarn with this pattern to get that stiff look. Sorry to say but it’s not the softest yarn out there so it holds up well with the structure of this hat.
There is a written tutorial on how to make your hat really pop with all of the decorations. Please show me your hats when they are finished!! I’ve added the link to my Facebook page in the pattern if you have any questions.
